G-Eazy Breaks Silence After Being Released From Jail: 'I'm Embarrassed'

Last week, we reported that G-Eazy was arrested in Sweden after punching a security guard at a nightclub. The rapper was also found with cocaine in his possession

"During the brawl, G-Eazy allegedly punched one of the club's hired muscle, and that was enough for cops to swoop in, cuff G-Eazy and haul him off to jail," TMZ stated. "G-Eazy famously talks about his heavy cocaine use, so cops probably knew when they checked his pockets they would score some of the white stuff. So he was arrested for that, too." 

Since then, the recording artist has been released from behind bars. So, he's broken his silence about the arrest. G-Eazy said that he felt very ashamed by what transpired on the night. However, he's very happy that he's now out of jail. On Instagram, G-Eazy expressed these thoughts in a post. "Grateful & blessed to be free & safe. Happy to be in Copenhagen tonight doing what I love most," the artist said on social media.

"Embarrassed & apologetic beyond words about the incident, but above all I’m so f**king grateful they let me go, craziest experience of my life, awful night with a lot of bad luck and some even worse decisions but like I said I’m grateful as f**k to be a free man, back on tour performing for the fans."

G-Eazy closed, "Thank you to everyone who’s held me down along the way and supported this journey, I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know." See the note below.
